A photo story

Wheeler Peak, New Mexico

Morning light on a ridge of Wheeler Peak, the high point of New Mexico, in October 2023. It was early, around 22 degrees, with a clear sky and a light breeze. It was my eighth state high point.

The ridge was just catching the sun, and I took this on the same morning as the summit sign. The next day I drove west to Humphreys Peak, about a nine and a half hour trip.
